TESTING SERIAL TABLETS
Make sure your Graphire tablet is properly connected and that power is on to both your computer and to
the tablet.
1.
Check power to the tablet. You should see the tablet’s orange status LED whenever the tablet cables
are properly connected and your computer is turned on. If the orange status LED does not come on,
make sure that both the serial connector and the power splitter connector are properly connected to
your computer. If the light still does not come on, you may have a defective tablet. See Contacting
Technical Support.
2.
Check the serial connection. Open the Wacom control panel to the CONNECTION tab. It should
indicate that the tablet is responding. If not, make sure that the tablet cable is properly connected to an
active serial communication port.
3.
Check the pen. Press the pen tip against the surface of the tablet. The status LED on the tablet
should turn from orange to green. Now, without applying pressure to the pen tip, press the side switch.
The status LED should again turn from orange to green. If not, you may have a defective pen or tablet.
